File under: ‘Liquid Goth.’Black Moth Super Rainbow’s unique brand of neo-psychedelia somehow manages to sound eerily familiar yet completely unlike anything else at the same time… perhaps it’s their affinity for lo-fi recording, analog synths, tape loops and singular deployment of druggy tropes. Something akin toBoards Of Canadaif they had the balls to sing through a vocoder and weren’t too posh to sleep on floors and play scuzzy house shows, but slightly more focused and less haphazard than theTobaccosolo stuff.Panic Bloomsis just as fun as any otherBlack Moth Super Rainbowrecord, but there’s something more creepy than usual coursing through the veins of these tracks… as if the collaged face on the album cover is smiling because he’s keeping a sinister secret none of us are really prepared to hear. There typically aren’t any overtly human sounds found onBMSRrecords (although there’s a nice little bit of acoustic guitar tucked away on “To The Beat Of A Creeper”), and sometimes it’s easy to forget there's a group of living, breathing human beings hiding behind the heap of synth cables, drum machine circuitry and vocoder hose. Still, there’s a tremendous amount of humanity in some of these songs… like the wobbly R&B vocal melody on “Permanent Hole,” or the heartbroken despair shining through the cracks of album closer “Mr. No One” (previously issued ona blink-and-you’ll-miss-it 7-incha few months ago backed with an exceptionalAriel Pink+Tobaccocollab). Other highlights: “New Breeze,” “Bottomless Face,” “Panic Blooms” and “Sunset Curses.” 16 tracks total, pressed on pink double vinyl with custom silkscreened print on side D and code for digital download, released byRad Cult.
